From a press release:
Starting this March, Fiola will begin offering monthly mixology classes led by Bar Manager Jeff Faile. Priced at $85 per class or $200 for all three, not including tax and gratuity, each class will include a three-course menu specially created by Chef Fabio Trabocchi to complement Faile’s cocktails. The two-hour classes will begin at 6PM and will be held at Fiola’s bar.
Instead of pairing the cocktails with the courses, each class is spirit-driven, with Chef Trabocchi designing his tastes to work with the tipples Faile creates. March’s theme being Whiskey Madness, as a hat-tip to the college basketball tournament, while April will allow Faile’s passion and preference for gin over vodka to emerge. The April class will focus on the history of gin, and the creation of cocktails that illustrate the complex flavors found in different styles of gin. The final class in May, “Amaro, Amaro, I Love Ya Amaro” will be a primer on the Italian herbal liqueur – a spirit used quite frequently in Faile’s Italian-inspired bar program at Fiola.
Faile will lead class participants through the history of each spirit as well as demonstrate three distinct cocktails. Students will have the opportunity to taste each cocktail while paired with their meal, and receive recipes for all the drinks demonstrated.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
